Discovering Cyprus - Cape Greco

-

Last week we visited Cape Greco - the headland on the south-eastern point of Cyprus. It's somewhere we have taken everyone who has come to visit as it gives such amazing views.










Cape Greco is a national park and covers 385 hectares. One of the few buildings in the park is a small chapel dedicated to Agios Anagryoi. It's here that Leo had his very first taste of ice cream last year (usually an ice cream van in the car park in season - they're not daft!)


Just behind the church some steps lead to a hermits sea cave which is mentioned in local legends, it's very popular for swimming from. 


I love the tranquillity of the area and the fact that it always makes me feel like I'm on holiday when I go there as it just doesn't feel like it could be somewhere that I only live 20 minutes from. 

A natural bridge.
I imagine it would be even more peaceful to visit without having to stop toddler running around and throwing himself off the edge!

This bench is calling me... to sit and chill

    Love Cape Greco...we usually go for a swim there to see some fabulous fish. The Boy has been known to take his mobile phone in with him :-(

    We could share, as long as the kids are somewhere else - wouldn't be very chilled if we were trying to stop them throwing themselves off the edge! ;)

    That would be cool - especially if Leo and Little M were 'relaxing' with the Daddies somewhere else! :)

    Cape Greco enjoyed once again, when we took our friends, who are visiting us. A beautiful place to share.

I've never written this blog as if no-one was reading it, although of course when I first started no-one was reading it as no-one knew about it.  I was trying to remember the exact reasons I started it, and I think the number one was to document our move to Cyprus,   I can't imagine that I would have thought anything else would have been worth reading but that would have been interesting,  I'd have certainly enjoyed reading someone else's story, and have done many times.  I also thought it would be something to do, and a great thing to look back on,  I realised it was an important point in my life,  new Mum and moving abroad.  I was right, I do enjoy occasionally looking back over old posts,  some I hate but overall I'm pretty proud of my blog.  I do miss it, and considered many times stopping and taking it offline.  I never wanted to officially end it though and so always left it here just in case.  Back in November 2022 I wro...

My best Slimming World recipe EVER! - Cheesy Meatball Pasta Bake

-

Since going back to Slimming World at the start of January I've been making an effort to try some new recipes and keep varying my food every day. Although there is an endless choice when it comes to what you 'can' eat with Slimming World, like anything it's all too easy to fall into a habit of eating the same things day in and day out.  I have many SW cookbooks as well as a folder with lots of recipes that I've collected from the magazine over the years, I've actually made very few though! Last week I decided to try a new one out, and I wish I'd made it sooner! Cheesy Meatball Pasta Bake was a massive hit with the whole family and possibly one of the best main Slimming World meals I've ever made! You need... For the meatballs - 500g extra lean pork mince 6 finely chopped spring onions Dried herbs ( I used about a teaspoon each of basil and oregano) 1tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1 tbsp tomato puree For the sauce - 1 finely chop...
